Al Ahly vs Mamelodi Sundowns Prediction
Al Ahly's winless run in this fixture extended to an eighth match running, with the goalless draw in the first leg also ensuring they have never won an away head-to-head game. The Red Devils are aiming to become the first side in history to three-peat the CAF Champions League and they are favorites to complete the job in front of their fans. However, their form in front of their fans has not been great in recent weeks, having lost two of their last three games at home.
Mamelodi Sundowns, for their part, are winless in their last three games (two draws). Four of their last five games have produced less than three goals but they must find the back of the net if they are to progress. 'The Brazilians' will be buoyed by their impressive record in this fixture over the last few years and they are unbeaten in each of their last three visits to this stadium (two draws).
We are backing the home side to claim a narrow victory with goals at both ends.
